Basement Remodels

Take advantage of the extra space.

Often times the least expensive way to add square footage to your home is finishing an unfinished basement. We can take you through all the steps including space planning, earthquake retrofitting, mitigating water problems, adding a bathroom or mother in law, and final build out.

Basement remodeling can involve a variety of tasks such as upgrading insulation, replacing outdated wiring, installing new drywall, painting, and installing new flooring. These are all great ways to help with heating and cooling costs. We also involve cosmetic design with lighting, fixtures, and custom storage solutions. Basement remodeling is a solution to add additional living space while also increasing the value of your home.

Questions About Basement Remodels?

The duration of a basement remodel in Seattle can vary widely depending on the project's scope, complexity, and any unforeseen challenges. A simple remodel might take several weeks, while more extensive projects could last several months. Accurate time estimates will be provided based on the specific details of your remodel prior to beginning your project.

The cost of a Seattle basement remodel can vary significantly based on factors such as the size of the basement, the extent of the renovations, the quality of materials used, and regional labor costs. For a small remodel, you might expect costs to start around $10,000 to $15,000, while more extensive renovations, particularly those that involve plumbing, electrical work, or high-end finishes, can easily exceed $40,000 to $70,000 or more. We will provide a detailed quote for your project after we’ve met with you and understand your goals and project scope.

Before the basement remodeling begins, you will usually need to clear out the basement. This involves removing furniture, personal belongings, appliances, and any other items stored there. If you have space elsewhere in your home, you can temporarily store items there. Renting a storage unit for off-site storage can be a good solution if you don’t have enough space at home. Portable storage units that you keep on your property for the duration of the remodel are another option. If there are fixtures or built-in items that cannot be removed, we will protect them with plastic sheeting or similar materials to prevent damage during the renovation process.

The best time of year for a basement remodel in Seattle is typically during the summer or early fall. These seasons offer drier weather, which can be advantageous for any construction work that might be affected by moisture, such as concrete work or exterior access to the basement. However, indoor projects like basement remodels can technically be done year-round, depending on the specific nature of the project and any external work required.
